PreSonus releases Studio One Pro Demo

PreSonus has released a demo version of Studio One, a complete music creation and production software.

Studio One is a groundbreaking music-creation and production application for Mac OS X and Windows XP/Vista that makes audio recording, MIDI sequencing, and audio mastering ridiculously simple right out of the box, yet provides a wealth of professional features.

Fresh code, innovative drag-and-drop MIDI mapping and plug-in management, auto-configuration with PreSonus hardware, insanely good audio quality, unlimited tracks and plug-ins per track, and a powerful, inventive Start page that literally puts the whole project right in your hands are just a few of the compelling features that make Studio One the next generation in audio software. Far from just another music-production program, Studio One changes the rules of the game, giving you a complete, easy-to-use solution from raw tracks to finished master, while supporting the latest standards and technologies.

The process for downloading and running the demo is formidable. So formidable in fact that I was unable to complete it. You give your email, they send a reg code, you use the reg code to register as a member, then you download the app, download a license, then you install demo, then you must activate online. I got all the way up to the last step and online activation failed. I’m pissed for having them waste my time. Oh yeah, there was a machine ID step in there somewhere too. BTW, these idiots use flash and bury all the… Read more »

I haven’t tried the demo myself, nor do i have any inkling to, it’s just perplexing to me that it took them three years to just release a demo. I can’t fathom it doing anything that other DAWs can’t already do, or well enough to convince a substantial number of users to jump ship anytime soon. At the same time, the original Kristal was pretty much abandoned in the meanwhile, and much of the dedicated Kristal user-base was alienated because development on K2/Presonus was so hush-hush secret, so I doubt too many of those who still use Kristal will look… Read more »

For me, the inability to support VST instruments in the Studio One Artist edition causes me to avoid it. I think they would have a difficult time trying to sell that edition to those who use virtual instruments and effects heavily. It’s unusual Presonus release a demo of this thing before revealing how much it would cost. Also I get the feeling that it would be dongleware. The public really doesn’t need another DAW which is difficult to use for the casual musician.

I should have checked out more information about this product before babbling. Well, it won’t require a dongle, at least. The Studio One Artist does come with a few instruments, but I’m not sure if someone like me would want to use them instead of VST plug-ins.

That said, the program would make a nice bonus for those who buy Presonus’ hardware, eh… :)

To clarify, obtaining/using the demo works like this: submit email address, create user account and register product key, download software, activate. Thousands have done this successfully so far, and I’ve not seen many complaints about the process.

Presonus Studio One demo works great.
I opened the user account @ the website and I installed the demo perfect.
I like this DAW is a new way to explore samples, plugins and instruments.I’ll buy it for sure, the first guy who never finished the installation , he doesnt know about it.I reserved my opinion.
This is “The DAW!!”

Using the downloaded Demo is difficult and I have so far been unsuccessful. When I opened the Demo it asked for the activation code of the software that I “bought”. When I went to the online area for my registered products it was empty where there had previously been my saved registration numbers. Apparently if you don’t do things in a particular order and in a timely fashion it does not work. I can’t imagine why a simple download has been made so difficult.

I’m way more annoyed than anything. First, the box my fire-box came in had a big sticker with all this free software (Cubase, etc.), but NO CD. When I contacted Presonus, they informed me that they no longer distribute that software. WTF? So I install this new “Artist One” CD. I’ve already had to “Create an Account” three different times, what the hell is with that? Then I try to use the “EzDrumer” and I get another prompt to “Create an account” with Toontracks, so I do. Then, I have to open my email, and find the activation link, which… Read more »

What a horrible experience…I bougt the PreSonus Firestudio Mobile, and it comes with Studio One Artist included. Got the hardware, but the Studio One CD was missing. Took a week and a half to get it. In the meantime, i set up an account and downloaded the demo. Other than I couldnt figure out how to actually work it (but I suppose that will take time), so far so good..the process went smoothly. Got my nive new CD with the FULL version of Studio One artist, load the app into my iMac – fire it up, and the DEMO version… Read more »

I registered an account for a 30 trial. When asked to login, the system did not recognize my name and password on three atempts.

What’s up with that? If this is an indication of what I have to look forward to with PreSonus Studio Pro, I’ll make my Cubase 5 purchase instead.

So, what’s up?

My product key and CD were damaged after i initially installed it…i’ve been using it (the interface) without actually accessing studio one, but there seems to be problems with my sound now that i need to configure the device for. The only way to do that is to sign into Studio One, and i need the product key. Does anyone know of a way to somehow get a product key by proving purchase or something? I bought this thing, dont know where the receipt is (i feel like the moron) but dont have the CD or product key…can someone help!?

I would contact Presonus support, perhaps there is some file or info in the about box of your current installation that would prove you installed it with a legit key etc.

When you do get things fixed again, make sure to register your product with Presonus. It always helps a lot when you are already “in the system”…

Here’s a couple of emails I sent to Presonus… A customer with that name is not known” I keep getting this error message every time I try to login. Here’s the info I gave you for registration; user name….peter brown login….fishpoop. I fthis is an indication of what I have to look forward to with PreSonus, I’ll go to plan B. Cubase 5 full addition. I’m going to make a decision as to which system to upgrade to. PreSonus up to now gave me great expectations of a smooth running recording/mixing/mastering DAW. However, you’ve gotten off to a very poor… Read more »

BTW, I even got it to track the Kontakt 3.5 vsts I have installed on my pc. (some-what but not without a hastle) But not the “supposed included virtual instruments” it promised. If someone from Presonus could walk me through the steps to download the FULL AND COMPLETE STUDIO ONE trial package, They still might have a $400. sale.

Well, well, well, I’m not the only one. The person with a good review of the download demo process must work for PreSonus and submit here trying damage control. There are too many persons with the same complaint as me for it not to be happening to virtually everyone. Like the one person said, I downloaded, then had to register, then had to input a key. Downloading the application was easy—it just never worked—I couldn’t get the loops to drag and engage on the tracks. Then I tried going to customer support—that’s a whole other forum. But I tried to… Read more »
